(2,690 posts)They lock you out because the Chosen One, ex-President Flubbo is their Way, Truth, and Light. You may feel upset but, trust me, they do not give a flying fornication about you any more than the fundamentalist buttwad who disowns his own child because he or she has come out gay cares about that child.
Cold hearted and super patriotic, theyd attend your lynching if it came to that and share a beer with the unwashed dude standing next to them with his spittle-covered beard.
Seriously. And dont think to yourself for a second that oh, thats not Bobby. Hes just confused but hes a good guy at heart. Because no he isnt a good guy at heart. His heart is stone and its a stone badge he wears proudly, and screw the man who says anything against it, including you.
The guy who was my Best Man turned up on Facebook a few years ago and we reminisced, shared old jokes, etc. it was cool. Until he started touting hateful -- seriously hateful -- views about muslims who, in his clearly confused mind, he said were all responsible for 9/11 which, he also says out of the other side of his mouth, was actually the result of a conspiracy between George Soros and George W. Bush plus a lot of big-money international jews. Yes, he did say that! I pointed the contradiction out to him and he nit-picked my grammar, deflected, whining about Obama being a "half-negro" [thats a Fat Asspimple Limbaugh-ism] muslim traitor.
I kept in contact with him because I got a certain bang out of catching him in his many, many logical fallacies and he finally unfriended me. This guy is a PhD, but lacks poetry, as Pope Francis put it: when a person lacks poetry his soul can but limp through life.
And so it goes.
Still, to see a person long befriended turn into a RW animatron before your eyes might leave you bewildered and sad, but, shoot, theyve chosen the that transformation, embraced it, and walked into the darkness. Willingly and with their goddamned eyes open.
